MSK Recommends

Bring these questions to your next appointment

When you learn you have throat, tonsil, or laryngeal cancer, you’ll probably have many questions for your cancer doctor at your first visit. Talking about treatment options with your doctors can help you feel confident when making decisions about your care. 

  • What type of throat cancer do I have, and what stage is it?
  • Did I have all the scans I need to learn the stage?
  • What genetic testing do you offer for throat cancer?
  • What are the best treatment options for the type and stage of throat cancer I have?
  • When can I start treatment?
  • Can I get throat cancer treatment at MSK close to my home?
  • What are the risks and side effects of throat cancer treatment?
  • Are there new throat cancer drugs I can try?
  • Do you have a clinical trial that’s right for me?
